(This function is only available in course setting projects!)

To create a new course, you first define its name and other parameters. Then you add the course objects.

Define the Name and Other Settings

Choose the Courses command in the Course Setting menu.

The Courses dialog appears.

Click the Add button.

Enter a course name in the first column.

Define the Course type in the corresponding column. You can choose between Normal Course, Relay or One-man relay.

If you have chosen the Relay or One-man relay option, define the number of legs in the last column.

Click the OK button when finished. Other adjustments can be made after adding course objects to the course in this dialog. Visit the corresponding article below.

Double click a course object either on the map or in the course objects list.

The course object is inserted at the position of the blue horizontal insertion line in the Course Object Box. Click the correct position in the course (so that the line gets moved) before adding the course object.

You can add a Start, a Finish, Controls or a Marked Route to the course, as well as some special objects (e.g. relay variations or Text Blocks) listed on the Insert Course Object page.

Edit the Course

Choose the Courses command in the Course Setting menu to display the Courses table with the following headers:

Height climb used: Enter a value here for the height climb which shall show up in the control description.
